but I guess I'll have to look into it..

Automated submission is the way to go. I used:import urllibimport urllib2import re

I logged on to hts and then set my cookie in my code with strSession=" " instead of trying to make my code log me in and then go to the mission page, it's easier that way. Also since the answer is a POST form it requires adding 'submitbutton' & a value to urlencode, if you decide to go that route.

# concatenated answer:'vwntc{mvx$xyhAjAjywkivsbf87087' <---------this should be what you get when you use those values.

Thanks for your response V helpful, ty.I'd originally forgotten to stop my shifting function from ignoring the numbers. Unfortunately, my program still isn't managing to cope with the task... (*Irked* )

By getting the same answer as the poster above, I believe I did it correctly. This leads me wondering if I did something wrong with my python coding when submitting the answer. Can anyone see what I did wrong? :S

forget it ... you have 3 sec for the whole thing, you wont have any chance to do this by hand. Write a proper tool to fetch this stuff from the website ... if you dont know how to do this in C you could also use some kind of external application to do the web stuff (like wget ...).On the other side, you would learn something if you write the whole www-stuff in C ... i mean http is a very simple protocol its not that hard to write some lines of dirty code to communicate with a webserver.

With this world there is no understanding, we belong their only to the extent, as we rebel against it (Theodor W. Adorno) --> if somebody knows a "official" translation for the well known german quote ... pls let me know!

So how do I submit the answer? I've been trying for a good 4 hours just trying to submit my correct answer that solves in milliseconds but takes longer to copy paste it in. I originally coded this in Java, realized I can't copy and paste in, takes too long. I then converted my code into Javascript and was hoping to use JQuery to write in the answer through an IFrame, I couldn't get that working. I then tried to write a Greasemonkey script, that didn't work, I get a 'document' is undefined error. So, I see most people submit the answer through their program. If I use my original code, how would I submit it with Java?

Hello, I wrote the code in PHP, so I just copy/pasted the answer... BUT, then I realized that I made some mistake. And I think I got my mistake, the numbers are the problem... but I dont know where I made that ... This is the algorythm no? ::

sum(prime numbers) *sum(non-prime numbers)

I have the following result: 115140 (404(nonprime)*285(prime)) instead of 111435
